5870 CF or 6950 CF

[blackride]

All, I already have one 5870 and love it. I was thinking about getting another 5870 for $250, BUT then I thought maybe I would go and get 2 6950s. Obviously going to the 2 6950s is a lot more expensive. $600 compared to $250 at my local store. Is it really worth the extra money for the 6950s?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I looked at a decent cross-section of the games in the following reviews:

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ATI/Radeon_HD_5870_CrossFire/7.html

They are both great options. With the exception of Crysis, we only see the biggest performance differences beyond the 100fps mark. At that point, who cares? In this case, I'd go with the least expensive option. Another 5870.
